Well, I turned the IE security settings to "low" to see it it would work (it didn't).
What, are you a glutton for punishment? :-)
If a site doesn't work with security/cookie settings set to normal... DON'T GO THERE! :-(
I didn't expect it to install on my computer when I clicked it.
In your security settings, look for "Script ActiveX Controls Marked Safe for Scripting", and set it to prompt. That solves 95% of your security problems right there. Macromedia Flash is the only ActiveX control I know of that's actually worth running, anyway.
Firefox v0.8 is very buggy, though I still use it for some reason. v0.9 would barely run for a few mintues before blowing up, and it eventually died on me, so I had to downgrade.
Of course, Amiga.org has loads of parsing errors it its HTML code, so that might be an issue, too. A major sin:
<img border=\"0\"...
If anyone has big Perl/PHP issues, I can probably lend a hand, if only to check the syntax. There's just as many broken PHP scripts out there as wonky HTML documents!
I used to use Adaware, but it went loopy when I upgraded to the new version a year ago.
It's always good practice to uninstall an old version before putting a new one on, so that might be what went wrong (I didn't do this with Firefox 0.9, so maybe that's why it fried itself initially). Try re-installing a "fresh" copy of Ad-Aware. kd7ota is right: SpyBot Search & Destroy is a load of crap.
